You admitted I was right. You in no way “exposed [my] lies” because I didn’t post any.

“I was astonished anyone would write such a thing. Christ sent ‘THE CATHOLIC CHURCH”?”

Sure did.

“Only a complete novice would believe that.”

No, actually I’m an experienced Church historian. I haven’t been a novice in at least two decades. A novice, however, would post as you do.

“And I qualified my post with 10 verses of scripture that demonstrated the Church of the Firstborn in heaven has nothing in common with the Catholic “Church.””

Your qualification - which is erroneous - in no way changes the fact that you said I was right and I thanked your for admitting it. I have no idea why that bothers you. If it bothers you to be thanked for stating what is true, then isn’t that a problem that is all your own?

“That was it?”

Yes. Why does it bother you to be thanked for pointing out a truth which you yourself agreed with?

“I referenced scripture that completely contradicts what you wrote earlier—that the Catholic “Church” was Sent by Christ to bring forgiveness—and you had no rebuttal?”

You in no way referenced any scripture that contradicted anything I said. What verses you posted in no way even addressed the issue. No rebuttal was needed for you never actually addressed the issue.

ROFL!!! Find the word “church” or anything that actually translates “church” in the New Testament. Ecclesia won’t do it btw.

Vlad, are you saying the 10 verses I quoted were not references to the Church? If so, that is the most wierd of all the wierd things you have said. What “bible” are you reading?

Apparently, Vlad doesn't believe these are references to the Church, the Lamb's Bride:

"Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God," (Rev 21:9-10)

"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant . . . " (Heb 12:22-24)

Philip
